Letter to the author, August 2008, from Nina Auerbach, author of 'Daphne du Maurier: Haunted Heiress' and Professor of English at Pennsylvania University: 'CAPTIVATED is a riveting joy... Poor scintillating du Mauriers. Poor boys... It's a terrible story and you tell it brilliantly. I felt as if I was living it...I started out affirming that Daphne's ill-fitting marriage, her affairs with glamorous women, her fixation on the men in her family, seemed less Barrie's than solely her own...but in the larger sense you really are right, Barrie hypnotized just about everyone in America and England and too many of us are still marching to his obsession with youth, boys, and death.'

It tells how Barrie brought his victims to nervous breakdown, early death and suicide, and how three writers formed an image of their dark side -- in Svengali, Peter Pan and Rebecca -- and how these images cleaved to reality and took control. As D.H. Lawrence wrote: 'J.M. Barrie has a fatal touch for those he loves. They die.'". Seller Inventory # 004333
